Betting List Analysis
Both Teams Not To Score In 1st Half (81.00)
With this being the most likely single-market outcome, both teams are expected to display strong defensive organization early in the match. Recent patterns suggest that open chances are rare before halftime, making a first-half goalless outcome for one or both sides highly probable.
Over 1.5 Goals (78.00)
The expectation for over 1.5 goals aligns closely with the season average of 2.56 total goals per match. Both teams have the capability to break down opposition defenses in the later stages, even if the first half is more restrained.
Both Teams Not To Score In 2nd Half (72.00)
The probability remains high that at least one side fails to find the net after the break. This outcome complements the earlier prediction, indicating a game with periods of defensive dominance and potentially only one team taking the initiative in the second half.
Over 0.5 Goals in First Half (72.00)
While both sides might keep things tight, there is still a notable chance for at least one goal before halftime—perhaps from a set-piece or defensive lapse. The overlap of probabilities indicates a slightly higher expectation of a single first-half goal rather than multiple.
Under 5.5 Cards (72.00) & Under 4.5 Cards (53.00)
Discipline will likely prevail in this encounter. Both average yellow and red card statistics point toward a game with few bookings. This low-card trend suggest tactical restraint and respect between the sides, with referees unlikely to reach for cards frequently.
Away Team To Score In 1st Half (67.00)
Palermo, the away side, has a reasonable chance of opening the scoring in the first period, possibly capitalizing on an early opportunity or a set-piece. Their away form and ability to press early could be a factor.
Both Teams To Score (61.00)
While earlier suggestions tilt toward defensive strength, there is still notable probability that both Cesena and Palermo will find the net at least once. This reflects their balanced, competitive levels in attack and defense.
Away Team Not To Score In 2nd Half (61.00)
If Palermo does find the net, it is statistically more likely to occur before halftime. Cesena’s defensive adjustments after the break tend to neutralize opposition attacks.
Home Team To Score In 2nd Half (61.00)
Cesena is expected to be more effective offensively after halftime, leveraging tactical changes and home advantage to create scoring opportunities late in the game.
Sum of Goals 2 or 3 (56.00) & Under 2.5 Goals (53.00)
The outcome range for total goals most likely fits between 2 and 3. However, just over half the time, the total stays under 2.5, aligning closely with the average goals data and suggesting a competitive but not high-scoring contest.
First Goal Between Minute 0-29 (56.00)
The opening half hour is a key window for a breakthrough goal—often dictated by early tactical probing or set-piece opportunities. This timing is consistent with both teams’ scoring operations.
Home Team Not To Score In 1st Half (56.00)
Cesena is less likely to break the deadlock before halftime, which fits overall trends showing restrained first-half action for both sides, particularly at home.
Additional Expert Predictions
- Expect a tightly contested midfield battle, with both teams wary of overcommitting players in attack early on.
- Substitutions and tactical tweaks after halftime could shift attacking balance, particularly in favor of the home side.
- Set-pieces—especially corner kicks and free-kicks—may have an outsized influence on the match outcome.
- Disciplinary incidents should remain rare; a red card is highly unlikely given the historical rate (0.09 per match).
- A final scoreline of 1-1 or 2-1 to Cesena appears most plausible based on scoring data and form.
